Q

What is the definition of exothermic reactions?

A

A reaction will be exothermic when more energy is released in bond forming than is absorbed in bond breaking.
This results in an overall negative delta

What is Hess’s law?

A

-(consequence of the first law of thermodynamics- energy cannot be created or destroyed)- if a reaction can take place by two routes, and the starting finishing conditions are the same, the total enthalpy is the same for each route

48
Q

what are the steps of finding an enthalpy change of combustion?

A

1.Write the equation for the enthalpy we need to calculate. Make the top arrow long.
2.At the bottom, write the combustion products of carbon dioxide and water which are common to both sides of the equation and draw in the arrows to make a triangle.
3. Add the values
4. Applying Hess’ Law to calculate the missing value on the top equation.

49
Q

what are the steps of finding an enthalpy change of formation?

A

1.Write the reaction for the enthalpy we need to calculate
2. Add the elements for formation which are common to both sides of the - equation
3. Complete the triangle by adding the values and arrows
4. Applying Hess Law will calculate the value as required

50
